The Impact drumline is an advanced battery percussion instruction focus group and a mallet ensemble for all students grades 7 thru 10 grade.  Impact players audition for instrument placement.

The mallet ensemble will be taught mallets, hand percussion, and other exciting percussion instruments. This group will function as a percussion ensemble with local performances at schools, conferences, and local restaurants such as Braco and Carnival.

The battery group will focus on playing the snare, quads, and bass at the highest level possible with a marching component. They will perform at local halftimes in the Sioux Falls area and will be added to the already entertaining cadets and slam taking the performance to a new level of creativity and precision.

Both groups will practice on Tuesday night from 7 to 9pm at the Sioux Empire Fairgrounds Armory Building – directly north of the Grandstands. Alternate practice locations include Faith Lutheran Church (4th & Cliff) or Sioux Falls Lutheran School (1 blk east of 33rd & Minnesota).  Check the Events Calendar regularly for location updates

Dues are $400
